Buy El Tesoro De Don Felipe Reposado Tequila online — a tribute to Don Felipe Camarena, the visionary who founded La Alteña Distillery in the highlands of Jalisco in 1937. This is traditional tequila making at its purest — Blue Weber agave slowly crushed by a centuries-old tahona stone wheel, double-distilled in copper pot stills, and aged 9–11 months in American oak ex-bourbon barrels. In stock now at Rare Tequilas.
The result is a reposado of rare balance: fresh agave character preserved alongside warm vanilla, caramel, and a whisper of toasted oak. Smooth, complex, and unmistakably highland. Certified additive-free by Tequila Matchmaker.
Nose: Cooked agave, tropical fruit, warm caramel, light anise.
Palate: Silky and rich — vanilla, pickling spice, manchego, toasted oak.
Finish: Long, dry, and gently spiced.
